AugieWargo Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Well, I guess I'll have to just wait until the new Bill and Ted movie comes out to get a Keanu minimate. Edited December 24, 2019 by AugieWargo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Yes, but it'll be Keanu from Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. Likewise a set of Minimates tying into the upcoming Matrix installment will be based on The Matrix Reloaded. Henceforth, launching a new line of Minimates with the second installment instead of the first or most current installment will be known as The Keanu Effect.

buttheadsmate Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 If it's any consolation the Western Trilogy Minimates were released in a different order to how the movies were released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AugieWargo Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Bogus Journey would give us a shot at Rufus and the Grim Reaper so I'm in. They posted updated estimated shipping dates and John Wick is still on it, just slated for spring now.

FightTheDead118 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Well thats RIP, for those who don’t know, on bbts, the preorder sold out status pretty much always means cancelled when it comes to mates Edited February 19, 2020 by FightTheDead118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padrino Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Zack said these were not cancelled but BBTS listed them the same way. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/107362 Maybe it's the same skew issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AugieWargo Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Meh, don't know and past the point of caring which is a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Then there are things that have been cancelled but BBTS had up for pre-order almost a year later. At this point Diamond should have cancelled and resolicited it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padrino Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 hopefully we will find out some information given that NYTF is this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 John Wick 2 Minimates may have gone the way of the Bruce Lee Minimates but they certainly took a much longer path to get there. They should have been cancelled last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AugieWargo Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I'd like to think it took so long because they wanted and were really trying to get them out. Sad whenever a toy line or wave doesn't see the light of day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AugieWargo Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I dunno. They were placed on the list as cancelled on the Previews website so it's over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to meet that initial August 2019 release date, yeah, they'd have needed quantities manufactured months earlier. That would mean these were actually cancelled quite some time ago. Otherwise they're sitting on some and they'll show up at Ross or some other lucky online retailer. But I'm guessing they never got made.

buttheadsmate Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The discount chain 'theory' ........in this instance.......is a non-starter & I'm fairly confident that MisterPL knew that. The discount chain theory isn't a theory here in the UK , since the demise of TRU the final Aliens wave turned up solidly in a UK national chain . One Minimate story that I'm not sure of is ....what happened to the Bluntman & Chronic TRU 2-pack ? Was it the weed or the packaging ?

Is it sad I'm more upset we aren't getting the dog than the minimates??? Hopefully it'll get used elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribble_WC Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) I've looked through the last couple pages and my understanding is that these are canceled, but I just got an order confirmation on my pre-order (April 2019) from Luke saying that I'd get another email when they shipped. What is going on? Edited March 16, 2020 by Tribble_WC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is going on? I got the same notice, but I also had multiple items on that order that weren’t preorders. My assumption is that Luke got the official notice that John Wick is cancelled and now he’s shipping out my order since it’s no longer being held up by the (now) cancelled set. I haven’t gotten a notice of a refund but I suspect it’s just a bit delayed ** edit - I just got the refund and an email explaining that the set is cancelled Edited March 16, 2020 by Donny B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
